I'm booked on CX865 JFK-YVR-HKG (formerly CX889) in J next week. I'm thinking about choosing Hindu (non-vegetarian) meal to mix it up a bit. I've heard that CX catering usually does a good job on that meal. However, with CX865 there's actually two dinner services, leaving JFK and leaving YVR. Is it possible to select special meal for just one of the flights? If not, is it appropriate to reject the special meal and ask for a standard meal instead? Most likely, I might just reject one of the meals anyway and have a mid-flight snack instead.

Has anyone had recent experience with the Hindu meal on LH out of the US?
